What it reported doing in 2019
Youth empowerment: yes uses an outcomes framework and measures opportunities for youth to develop their interest, hone skills, gain experience in areas like environmental scanning, media advocacy, public speaking and being more aware of their own ability to lead community change. Between 2016 and 2018, yes alongside our partners have helped to change 58 systems, policies and environments, across more than 20 states, impacting over 3,957,968 people.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 66% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 86% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
